Since these are the sentiments with which they recognise our supreme authority and the power of the apostolical see—since at the same time they understood the gravity of the truth which our Lord Jesus Christ himself imposed upon us of governing and directing His whole Church, of feeding His whole flock in the paeturages of holy doctrine, and of continually watching lest the holy faith and His doctrine should receive the slightest injury—we cannot doubt that in devoting themselves to the study and to the teaching of the higher sciences and to the defence of holy doctrine, they also recognise that it is a duty for them to religiously follow the rules constantly observed in the Church, and to obey all the decrees which have been given on matters of doctrine by our supreme Pontifical authority. _ _ By order, JOHN CATES, Manager.

Thia Compan has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important t 2wlls, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing P°pulation of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the Xuraber of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The A.gricaltural capabilities of the Island are great ; an d Its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avave average value; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fishe r i es , an d an un li m i te d supp l y o f Sea l°, eed for M anure. Th e expense and trouble, however, of 'and-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages cora- Paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite tear St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being to water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Ramsey, and Laney : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Renee, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above 100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of coarse, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so Gratin as to render the Island moat advantageous as a per manent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently e stablished. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings, The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula lion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently nollected on the spot, with much care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confid ent l y expecte d that Traffic win re turn a good Divide n d upon t h e I nvested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : P assengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum. Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c P arcels and M a il s Working E x p enses at even 50 per Cent t. £l3 6,500 Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo --- Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, Call /I°l., in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An eminent Contractor's firm h ave agreed to purchase the land make the R a ilw a y, p rov id e and fit up all Stations, furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, ill On satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent, per Annum will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount Paid upon shares. An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years.

This Company will raise moneys on debentures, and apply them to mortgage of real estate and other substantial securi ties in the two colonies at the rates prevalent there. 'These rates are from 12 to 16 per cent. per annum. The margin of profit to the Company is apparent. The Company wil purchase property in the colonies to a limited extent. It is believed that grants of land from the Government may also be obtained, with a view to their being settled under regulated conditions. The Company will also wt as agents in all matters of finance and investment rs between the home capitalist and the cololial property holder. The prospects of the shareholders are best exemplified by the large returns on capital obtained by the shareholders of simi ar institutions.

The Company will undertake the construction of Rail ways and o her public works as die ineu.shed from the busi ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally of the negotiation and acceptance of contracts, and the finan cial measures connected therewith. 3. The two Companies will work in harmony, but inde pendently of each other. 4. The opera' ions of this Company will be conducted by the eminent contractors Messrs. Smith and Knight, who have transferred their whole business and interest on highly ad vantageous terms; all their valuable plant and existing contracts (including that for the construction ot the Royal Sardinian Railway recently entered into) being ceded to the Company. The plant will be paid for in cash, and the re maining interest principally in shares, such shares being taken with £5 only per share credited thereon. 5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present session for powers to c ‘nstru .t branch and ad .itional rail ways, and the well-known increasing demand for railways and other public works, not only in Europe and the colonies. but in all parts of the civilised world, open a wide field fer the profitable employment of capitaL 6. The Direc ors consider that, wi h all the elements of success, viz., a large working capital, the assistance of a powerful finano'al corporation, coupled with the experience an I superintendence ot parties conver , ant with the praAical details of the business, with an identity of interest, the pros 'nets of the Company are such as are seldom brought under publi 3 notice, 7. In the event of no allotment of shares being made. the deposit will be returned 'n toll. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

TO OUR VENERABLE FATHER GREGORY, ARCM* BISHOP OF MUNICH AND OF FRISINGUE. PIUS THE NINTH, POPE. Venerable Brother, health and apostolic bene diction I—We have received with pleasure your letter dated the 7th of October last, a letter by which you inform us what passed'in the Congress at Munich in the preceding month of September, among some theologians and learned Catholics of Germany, who were occupied with divers questions relating principally to the teaching of theology and of philosophy. The letter which, by our order was written to you by our venerab'e brother Mathieu, Archbishop of Neocesaree, and Nuncio of the Apos tolic See of the Court of Bavaria, has already apprised you, venerable brother, with what senti ments we had received the first news of the pro jected Congress, and afterwards learat how the said theologians and other Catholics had been invited to and assembled at that Congress. We certainly did not wish to doubt the praiseworthy end which the authors and abettors of the assembly proposed to themselves. Doubtless, they expected from the Congress of so many Catholios, remarkable for their science, from their common deliberations and the united forces, that a new impulse would be given to true science in the Catholic Church in Germany, and hoped that it would thus be avenged and de fended against the opinions and the perverse and very pernicious efforts of ao many adversaries. But placed, though unworthy, in the su'alime chair of the Prince of the Apostles, in times so difficult, when the authority of the bishops is more necessary than ever to secure the unity and integrity of the Catholic doctrine, and when it is important to preserve it in all its force, we could not help being ettraordinarily astonished at seeing the Convocation of the above mentioned Congress made and published in the name of some individuals in such a manner that nothing is to be found which came from the impul sion, from the authority, and from the mission of the ecclesiastical power, to which alone it belongs, by proper and natural right to watch over and direct doctrine, particularly in matters relating to th eo l og ical questions. Certainly thi s is a thing, it, quite n ew , an d a lt oge ther This is the reason, venerable brother, why we a u n n d usu y al ou in t k h n e o C w hurch. have wished to make you acquainted with our senti ments, in the or bishopsd and your venerable brothers, may exactly judge that a oft ou Germany, whether the end indicated in the programme of the erh Congress was of a nature to prove useful to the Church. We were at the same time certain, vener able brother, that in your pastoral solicitude you would employ all the counsels and the efforts of your zeal to prevent any damage from being occa sioned in this Congress, whether to the integrity of the faith and the Catholic dectrine, or to the full obedience which Catholics of every order and of every condition owe to the authority of the Church, and the mission which she has received to teach. For the rest we cannot conceal that we have suf fered considerable uneasiness ; f or we fear lest the example of this Congress, assembled without eccle siastical authority, ma y serve by degrees to bring about an attack on the right of spiritual government and of legitimate teaching, which, in virtue of the Divine institution, belongs of right to the Roman Pontiff and to the bishops who are in union and in accord with the successor of St. Peter, and that by reason of this trouble thus introduced into the go vernment of the Chutch the principle of unity and of obedience in matters of faith may one day be weakened among many- We feared also that in the same Congress there might come to be uttered and sustained opinions and systems which, especially by the publicity w hi c h would be given to them, might place in peril the purity of Catholic doctrine and the duty of submission. For we recalled with pro found grief, venerable brother, that the Apostolic See, in order to fulfil the heavy duty which is im posed on it, has been compelled in late times to censure and to interdict the works of some German writers, who, knowing not how to separate them ' selves from a certain principle or method of a false science, or from the deceitful philosophy of the day, have been led without wishing it, as we delight to think, to propound and teach doctrines which depart from the true sense and the legitimate in terpretation of many dogmas of our holy faith. It is thus that they have revived errors already condemned by the Church, and have explained, is a sense entirely false, the nature and, the pre4 per character of Divine revelation and of the faith. We know, also venerable brother, that among the Catholics devoted to the study of the higher sciences there were some who, reckoning too much on the strength of the human mind, have not allowed them selves to be stopped by the fear of encountering error, and who, while wishing for science a deceit ful and scarcely sincere liberty, have been carried beyond the limits which may not be crossed, at least to the renouncing of the obedience due to the Divine authority which the Church has received to teach, and to preserve intact the who le deposit of revealed truth. Whence it has happened that these Catholics, dupes of unhappy illusions, often find themselves in agreement with those who declaim against the decrees of this apostolic see and of our congregations, saying that those decrees are an obstacle to the free progress of science, and thus exposing themselves to break the sacred ties of obedience which, in the order of the Divine will, ought to attach them to that same apostolic see, see, instituted by God Himself to be the interpreter and defender of the truth. We were not ignorant either that in Germany had prevailed false preju dices against the ancient school, and against the doctrine of the great doctors whom the Universal Church reveres for their admirable wisdom and the holiness of their lives. That false opinion has even attacked the authority of the Church, since it is the Church herself which, during so many successive ages, not only permitted the cultivation of theologi cal science according to the method of those doc tors, and according to the principles consecrated by the unanimous accord of all the Catholic schools, but has also very often bestowed the greatest praises upon their theological science, and has strongly re commended it as offering the best means of defend ing the faith, and the most terrible weapons against its enemies. The very important duty of our supreme apostolic ministry, and special love with which we embrace all the Catholics of Germany, a very dear part of the Lord's fleck, solicited and drew our mind towards all these thoughts, when it was preoccu pied with so many cares. Moreover, having re ceived the intelligence of the projected Congress, we were anxious that the matters explained above should be signed to you. When it had been briefly reported to us that, yielding to the en treaties of the authors of that Congress, you had accorded, venerable brother, authority to hold it that you had solemnly inaugurated it by the celebration of the holy mysteries, that consultations had there taken place in such a manner as not to deviate it from the doctrine of the Catholic Church ; when by the same missive the members of that Congress implored our apostolic benedictionove yielded with out any delay to our pious wishes. However, we waited with the greatest anxiety your letters, that we might learn from yourself, venerable brother, and in the greatest detail, all that could be reported respecting this Congress. Now that we have re ceived from you what we desired so ardently, we hope that, with God's aid, this assembly, as you as sure us, will be of great service in Germany for the Catholic Church. In fact, all the members of this Congress, you write, have proclaimed that the pro gress of the sciences, and the means of avoiding and refuting the very unfortunate errors of our age, en tirely depend on an intimate adhesion to the re vealed truths taught by the Catholic Church; they have recognised and professed this truth, which true Catholics, devoted to the study and develop ment of the sciences, have always kept up and transmitted. Resting upon this truth, learned men true Catholics have been able to cultivate the sciences without peril, to labour in their develop ment and to aender them useful and certain. But this result could not be obtained if, even in the search of truths which it can obtain by its faculties and its own strength, the light of human reason, circumscribed in its limits, did not above all respect as it ought to do the infallible and uncreated light of the Divine intelligence which burns admirably on every side in the Christian revelation. Although, in fact, the natural sciences rest upon their own principles, ascertained by reason; it is necessary that Catholics who cultivate them have always before their eyes Divine revelation, as a star, which guides them, and whose tight aids them in preserv ing themselves from dangers and errors when in their researches and studies they perceive that they may allow themselves to be led, as very often hap pens, to utter words more or less contrary to the in fallible truth of things which have been revealed by God. We do not wish to doubt that the members of the congress, knowing and professing the truth of what we have reminded them, have at the same time wished to reject and fully reprobate that recent and false method of philosophy which, while admit ting Divine revelation as an historical fart, sub mits to the investigation of human reason ineffeble truths taught by that same revelation, as if these truths arose from reason, or es it reason, by its own strength and its natural principles, could acquire the knowledge and the science of all the super natural truths of our holy faith, and of mysteries which are so much above it, that it can never become capable of understanding them, or of demonstrating them by its own forces and in virtue of its natural principles. We address eulogies that are deserved to this assembly, because, rejecting, as we expected it, that false distinction between philosopher and philosophy of which we have spoken in our previous letters, they have recognised and affirmed that all Catholics in their writings are held in conscience to obey the dogmatic decrees of the Catholic Church, which is infallible. In giving them praises which are their due for having confessed a truth which necessarily results from the obligation of professing the Catholic faith, we wish to persuade ourselves that they have not intended to restrict this duty of submission, by which Catholic professors and writers are strictly bound, to the sole points defined by the infallible judgment of the Church as dogmas of faith which all ought to believe. And we persuade ourselves that they have not wished to declare that this per fect adhesion to revealed truths which they have recognised as altogether necessary to the progress of the sciences and the refutation of errors could be obtained if faith and obedience were only granted to the dogmas expressly defined by the Church. Even when the submission due to the Divine faith is the only question, they could not restrict it to the sole points defined by express decrees of oecumenical councils or Roman pontiffs and of this apostolic see ; it would be necessary further to extend it to all which is transmitted as divinely revealed by the ordinary body of instruction of the whole Church dispersed over the universe, and which, for this reason, Catholic theologians, with universal and n co nsent, regard as belonging to faith. But s as n t h a e question is of the submission which is o due ta conscience from all those Catholics constant who give themselves to the study of the specu lative sciences in order to procure to the Church new advantages by their writings, the members of the congress ought to recognise that it is not sufficient for Catholic sevens to accept and respect the dogmas of the Church of which we come to speak, and that they ought also to submit themselves both to the doctrinal decisions which emanate from pontifical congregations, and to the points of doctrine which by common and constant consent are held in the Church as truths, and as certain theological conclusions, and that the oppo site opinions, merit, i although they cannot be qualified as nevertheless, some other theological censure. We do not think that those who took part in the congress at Munich were able or wished in heretical, any way to contradict the doctrine above stated, a doctrine which proceeds from true principles, and which is that of the Church ; we prefer, on the contrary, to hope that in devoting themselves to the culture of the most elevated sciences they had at heart to conform to this doctrine, and to take it for their guide. That which specially causes our con fidence, venerable brother, are the letters which have come to us through you for We have mil in We • make all these communications to you, strongly desiring that you should bring them to the knowledge of all those who assisted at the Con gress ; bat, nevertheless, if it appears to us that there is cause for it, we shall not fail to give ample instructions upon the subject to you and to cur venerable brothers the Bishops of Germany, when we know your views and theirs upon the fitness of these kinds of Congress. Finally, we once more very urgently appeal to your solicitude and pastoral vigilance, that in concert with our venerable brothers the other bishops of Germany, yon cease not to con secrate all your care and thoughts .)n the defence and propagation of holy doctrine. Do not fail to impress upon all the necessity of carefully avoiding profane novelties, and of not allowing themselves to be seduced by those who unceasingly vaunt the false liberty of science, and who extol, not only its true progress, but also the errors which they impudently please to decorate with that name. Do not cease with zeal and ardour to address to all your exhor tations that they use their energies and (flirts in acquiring true Christian and catholic wisdom, and that they hold in great esteem, as is right, the truths and the solid progress of science which have been realised in catholic schools in following the direc• tions and teachings of our holy and divine faith ; that in the study of the theolog;cal sciences espe cially they attach themselves to the firm principles and doctrines upon which the wise and learned teachers, who have acquired immortal glory in ren dering brilliant and real services to the Church and to science, unanimously relied. It is in this way, assuredly, that in cultivating the sciences, Catholics can, with the aid of God, know, develop, and make known more day by day, as much as it is given to man to do, the treasure of the truths which God has put in the works of Nature and of Grace, so that man, after having known them by the light of reason and of faith, and having carefully conformed his life to them may contemplate unveiled and in the clearness of the eternal glory, the sovereign truth, that is to say, God, and enjoy Him for ever in the plenitude of eternal happiness. It is with much joy that we avail ourselves of this opportunity to renew the assurance of our peculiar affection for you. Receive the pledge of it in the apostolical benediction which we give to you in its fulness, venerable brother, and to the flock confided to your care.

The work of completing the iron-cased frigate Achilles, 1,250 horse power, fitting for sea in Chatham harbour, proceeds as rapidly as circum stances will permit, but there is still work remain ing to he completed ou board which will occupy several months before she will be anything like ready to preceed on her maiden cruise. A consi derable delay has taken place in fitting the plates and tramways for the guns on the main deck, in consequence of the armament for the Achilles having been altered from that originally intended, necessi tating the return of most of the gun plates and curb ing to the Royal Arsenal for alteration. After vari ous changes, the armament for the Achilles has been at length definitively decided upon, and she is now intended to be supplied exclusively with the new 100 pounder smooth-bore wrought-iron guns, 20 of which she will mount on her main deck. At present this is the only portion of her armament decided upon, but it is probable that she will carry in addition one, if not two, of the 300-pounder Arm strongs. From the demand now made on the Royal Gan Factory for the supply of the new naval 100- pounder it is stated at Chatham that the summer will be very far advanced before the Achilles can receive her armament and be ready for sea. The ships of war on the Australian station at the date of the last advices were the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sullivan; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jenkins; the Eclipse, 4, Capt. Mayne ; the Curacoa, 23, Com mander Wiseman ; and the Esk, 21, Capt. Hamil ton. All these vessels were at New Zealand. An Admiralty order has been received at Chats ham Dockyard in which it was announced that, with the view of adopting more efficient measures for the better working of the labour department of the dockyard, the whole of the junior officers and workmen who are not in every respect efficient for the discharge of their duty at the age of 60 are to be superannuated. Under all circumstances, retire ment at the age of 65 is in future to be compulsory. Under this arrangement the number of hands will be reduced to that under the order in Council. A return is to be forthwith prepared of the names of such of the officers and workmen who are not effi cient and capable of discharging their duty. One hundred mechanics and labourers belonging to the royal carriage department in Woolwich Arsenal have this week received notice of dismissal, thus reducing the establishment to 1,600 men. The whole of the departments will be closed on Good Friday and the following Saturday, the work of Saturday to be made up by overtime, which com menced yesterday. Each of the departments in the Arsenal will cease work consecutively two days each during Easter week to take stock, for the accounts at the approaching termination of the financial year. The general survey of the stores at Chatham Deck yard, in accordance with the new arrangements sanctioned by the Admiralty, will commence on April 1 under the superintendence of the officials from the Storekeeper-General's department. Their Excellencies Rainandraindraina and Raini feringia, on a special mission to this country from Madagascar, yesterday visited Woolwich and in spected the various ships under construction and re pair in the dockyard. They were provided with a special order from the Admiralty for that purpose, as well as a War Depa rtment p ermit for the theaog Turkish i e t arsenal, whither they w ere accom p anied b y Com mander Lysaght, of t he fle g shi p Fis g ard .

Dangerlia, asaietepaymutcr, at his residence at Brixton, on the 18th inst., in his 78th year. This distinguished officer entered the navy in 1796, on board the Royal George, and wax present in the following year in the mutiny at Spit head, removing next to the Huron, the ship in at tendance upon the Royal family at Weymouth : Atter assisting in various captures, he attained the rank of lieutenant in April, 1802, and was appointed to the Leopard, in which he served off Boulegne ttt the time of the threatened invasion. In 1804 ho took part in the Catamaran expedition, The Leo pard afterwards sailed with six Indiamen to convoy to the southward of the Cape Verd Islands, and during the passage one of them struckneona roc~ reef near St. Jago, when, by Lieut. Tayler's neh:e exertions in the Leopard's ratter, 30 lives were saved, notwithstancEng a, tremendous sea that was breaking over the ship. In the Maida frigate Lieut. Tayler accompanied the expedition to Copenhagen, during the siege of which place he landed in com mand of a party of seamen, and was empl oye d in a breaching battery. He subsequently served in the Maida, Spencer, and Heroine. On the 27th of August, 1810, he was promoted to the command of the Sparrow, of 16 guns, and soon after wards distinguished himself by a series of gallant and important services, surveying the different har bours and ascertaining the strength of the French garrisons along the Biscayan shore. In the opera tions against St. Sebastian in 1812, he erected a battery on Lighthouse-hill, an enterprise of tho greatest difficulty. Oa the 24th of July, Captain Tayler, by the bursting of a shell, was dreadfully injured, and was sent home to England. More than two years elapsed before his wounds were healed. As some reward for his services and sufferings he was allowed a pension of £2OO per annum, and gazetted a C.B. on the Bth of December, 1816. Hs was also voted the sum of £lOO by the Patriotic Society, and was presented by the Corporation of Devizes with the freedom of that borough. He was promoted to pest rank on the 16th of August, 1813, and accepted the rank of Rear-Admiral on the Ist of October, 1846.

The first divisional field day of the present sea son took place at Aldershott on Friday, and was marked by a series of most brilliant and well-exe. cuted manceavres. At half-past 10 o'clock the brigades, under the command of their respective generale, were formed up on Claycart Ridge in line of contiguous columns, and after inspection by the Lieut.-General commanding, were marched on to Eelmoor and Burns's plain. The troops were then disposed in order of battle, and the movements of the day commenced. The 13th Hussars, under command of Col. Jonyns, C. 8., advanced in line, covered by skirmishers. At the same time the Carabineers and Royal Dragoons formed line, advanced from the right, changed position to the left, again advanced in echelon, changed position to the right, and halted in line, the 13th forming line in rear of their centre. These movements were supported by D Battery Royal Horse Artillery, with a half battery on either flank, and while they were in progress the infantry passed through the ravine, and the Ist Brigade advanced in line, and the 2d in quarter distance column on the left, with two companies of the 2d Battalion 6th Rifles in skirmishing order protecting that flank. The 3d Brigade advanced in line of contiguous columns to the right rear of the Ist, halted, and formed line. The cavalry took ground to the left, cleared the front of the infantry, and manoeuvred on the left front. The 2d Brigade formed line, and the whole of the infantry advanced in three lines with a bat tery of field artillery on the flanks of the advanced brigade. The Ist Brigade next formed open column of companies, and the 3d Brigade quarter distance column on the 31 Buffs. The 2d Brigade formed open column, right in front, and the Cavalry Brigade line in front of the infantry, retiring in echelon by wings of regiments from the right. This was a beautiful movement. The cavalry having cleared the line of infantry, the Rifles advanced in skirmish ing order covering the 2d Brigadc, which advanced in line into the Long Valley, and halted. The 3d Brigade then advanced on the right, in open columns of companies, halted, and formed line to the left. The cavalry advanced on the left in line, by regi. rants at wheeling distance, and retired by sections of threes from the right of squadrons. This ended the evolutions of the day, and after marching past the troops filed off to their respective quarters. Spring drill has been commenced at the camp at Colchester. The new cavalry barracks will pro bably be occupied by troops towards the end of April or the commencement of May. It is not unlikely that they will be previously inspected by the Commander-in-Chief. Dr. Fraser, Deputy- Inspector-General of Hospitals, will shortly leave the camp for Ceylon: Lieut. Leeds, Coast Brigade, Royal Artillery, has proceeded to join the head quarters of his corps at Woolwich, on being relieved. by Lieut. M‘Murray, from Alderney. The two 70-pounder Whitworth guns intended to be used in the forthcoming official trial at Sheebnry ness between Sir William Armstrong and Mr. Whit worth, were yesterday fired at the proof butt in, Woolwich Arsenal. The first two rounds were fired with charges consisting of 101 b. of powder, and a cylinder, equal to two service shots—namely, 1401 b. weight each. A series of three rounds then com menced with a cylinder weighing 701 b,, and a charge of powder one-sixth of that weight, namely, 111 b. 10oz. One of the guns was found to hold fire at the first round, and on examination the vent was found choked with a. hard cakey substance, supposed to have collected in consequence of the confined diame ter of the passage, which it is suggested should be slightly enlarged. A telegram was accordingly despatched to Mr. Whitworth to that effect. The result of the proof was otherwise satisfactory. THE PRIDE OF CANADA.—The Board of Trade inquiry into the conduct of Captain Thornton and his first mate terminated at Liverpool yesterday.
